The Koosh Vortex
Power Strike, while being a departure from the
other Vortex blasters, is a very good product.
The Power Strike adds the ability to fire
multiple rings to the already good range and
accuracy of the other Vortex launchers.
As you might notice from the Operation section,
this blaster does take some time to prime. However,
the main feature which comes from this complex
priming process is the ability to fire two
consecutive shots. While this feature
appears on several blasters (like the Nerf
SplitFire), this ability combined with the
snipering abilities of the Vortex blasters gives
the Power Strike an edge over other products.
Unfortunately, in exchange for the ability to fire
two consecutive shots, the Power Strike does have
a lower maximum distance than its other Vortex
cousins. However, if one uses the Power
Strike in combination with any of the other Vortex
blasters, he/she can have both range and the
ability to take care of opponents at a
closer distance.
The ability to fire both regular and micro Spin
Fire rings also adds to the usefulness of the
Power Strike. You can easily use whatever
Spin Fire rings you may find, which is very useful
during a Nerf war.
While not having the same technical performance as
the other Vortex blasters, the Power Strike makes
up for this with its ability to fire two
consecutive shots. A very good blaster
overall.

The Vortex Power Strike is
a great blaster because it combines the three key
elements of accuracy, distance, and ammo
capacity. Also, this blaster can be fired on
a flat plane (PTG) for greater accuracy without
compensating much distance. Its ability to
hold and fire up to eight total rings is
unsurpassed in the other Vortex ring
products.
The Power Strike is the most versatile
and perhaps the most powerful of the Vortex ring blasters.

| This
is flat-out an excellent blaster. The Vortex
Power Strike displays a great balance of power,
accuracy, and versatility. The only complaint I
have about this launcher is its use of
specialized ammo. I haven’t been in any Nerf
wars in which more than two people were using
Vortex ring-style ammo.
The up-sides
of this blaster are endless. It has two barrels
which can be fired simultaneously or
independently of each other. In my experience
the Vortex Power Strike has pin-point accuracy
and quality velocity. On top its abilities with
one ring of ammo on each barrel, this blaster
can fire up to four rings per barrel (eight
total) with relative accuracy and power. The
launcher is easy to load and cock , and the
handle and trigger are unusually comfortable.
This is one of
the best of the Vortex series ring blasters -
well worth the cost.
